Install via PyPI:
```bash
pip3 install linode-cli
pipx install linode-cli
```

To upgrade:
```
pipx upgrade linode-cli
```
We recommend using `pipx` to install `linode-cli`, as it installs Python CLI tools in isolated environments and avoids conflicts with system-managed Python packages (PEP 668).

The new "To upgrade" snippet opens a fenced code block but never closes it, which causes the recommendation text and the following "Visit the Wiki" line to render as code. Close the fence after the upgrade command, and consider using ```bash for consistency with the install snippet, with the explanatory sentence as a normal paragraph outside the code block.
